retrospec | [TEXT] It's a quarter after 1 I'm a little drunk and what were the next lyrics?

[Sometimes Mr. Nelson's students forget their teacher is on the network. This time Mr. Nelson forgot his students were on the network. This message brought to you by a stressed middle aged man drinking WAY TOO MANY shots late Friday night.]

Say you and the guy you have feelings for agree to stay just friends because even though he feels the same way about you he's not comfortable dating other guys yet. You two continue hanging out and get even closer and the next thing you know you're regularly meeting for movie night and having serious heart to heart conversations with each other. Best friends fuck yeah!

But then things start to get into a very very grey territory where you're doing things friends don't normally do. Like cuddling up to each other or spooning and you might have laid one on him once or twice. Also people start thinking you're not single because back in FEB your stupid heart stone convinced like half the kids you teach that you're madly in love with someone and getting married any day now- THEIR WORDS not mine. Sure you haven't said those special words directly to him but you're getting very serious about him and he keeps alluding to being very serious about you. And you don't want to force anyone to rush into something they're not ready for but you're turning down dates when others ask you out because it feels like you have a boyfriend even though you don't.

Where do you draw the line between "I'm respecting your wishes to say we're just friends because you're not comfortable with your sexual orientation yet" and "Buddy no matter how many times we call each other dude and pal it's crazy to say we're not dating at this point"????

I asked the bartender and they looked at me like I was insane.

[Set a good example dude!]

right
i'm going to call a ride and go home
any chance you'll forget this ever happened come MON?

I have evidence of this conversation on my phone so. Probably not. At least not all the students would have seen this?

what if I delete this post
and then you delete our conversation
and soon it will all seem like a dream
will that help do the trick?

yeah I'm sure plenty of the others skipped right over it
"Mr. Nelson wrote something? Boring! Next!"

I haven't tried. Can we delete things on here?

But I guess at least it isn't like you're on here all the time reminding us about homework or whatever. Not all of our class even has the app. So I guess you can be thankful for that?

I don't know but what social media doesn't allow deletion?
That would be weird! [Foggy remember what app you're dealing with here.]

Would it be THAT bad if I reminded you guys about homework on this thing? Those of you on this app keep getting distracted by super powers and stuff.

Most do. I'd assume this one does too but it's also. You know. Retrospec, so.

The last thing I want to think about with this app is school. I mean. I know you're on it and so are some other students or whatever but still.

The app that keeps on giving.

Hey I offer as a convenience to you guys but if it's not appreciated I have other things to spend my time on. [LIKE RELATIONSHIP CONFUSION APPARENTLY]

I'd rather the app stop giving so much. Like. Giving anything at all.

Other things like getting drunk and venting to the bartender. Uh-huh.

Yeah
I'm going to go
Home. I mean I'm going to go home.
If you're judging me now remember it when you're old enough to drink
So you don't look like a hypocrite and embarrass yourself
Yeah

Part of me is debating and thinking drinking to deal with this app nonsense is probably one way to deal with it all. But I know, I'd be in trouble if I did, since I'm still a minor and all yet.

I make no promises for once I do turn 21 though. If we haven't moved again by then. Some places the drinking age is only eighteen.

For your own health do yourself a favor and put off the drinking until you're twenty one.
It's easier to drink too much too often than you think.
Exhibit A right here.
I'm going to sleep this off and avoid repeating this with all the will power I can muster
I WILL set a good example for you and the other kids!

If we stay here, I probably will.

You keep telling yourself that, Mr Nelson. Really though, you're still probably a better example than my foster dad. Just don't expect me to have been the only student to see this.

Yeah too late for that a couple others saw.
I'll set a good example by not repeating this mistake.

I wish I could say this wouldn't probably be all over school tomorrow but. It probably will, you know.

But yeah. I guess as long as this didn't become a habit. I dunno, can you like, filter stuff with this app when posting? I never bothered to even check before.

Sleepers can't find out about it right? Since it's a Retrospec thing. [Here's hoping!]

Don't know. I'll have to look at the post settings again next time I write one. But staying off the app while drinking will be the most effective and I suggest making that rule for yourself before you begin.

In theory? As far as I figure. But at the same time, if people just talked on you being at a bar and drunkenly rambling about some guy you like, without mentioning the app or just said it was on social media or something. I haven't really tested how this stuff works exactly.

That's probably a good call for next time. Yeah. New rule.

[SHIT] Hopefully nobody will feel like sharing! You wouldn't spread that around right?

I'm not going to go around telling everyone. But I probably wouldn't need to if someone else did already.

I appreciate your silence. [PRAY FOR HIM YUU]

I can't speak for the others that see this but. Yeah. Don't see why this has to be anyone else's business. It's you -- your relationship or whatever, I mean.

Yeah privacy is real important.

-Remember that later when you have to read 1984 by George Orwell!

I just told you not to talk about homework on here, didn't I? Come on, Mr Nelson.

Sorry! [He wouldn't apologize if he was SOBER]

....yeah now this is weird. A teacher apologizing. Usually this is the other way around.

Yeah don't get used to it [He didn't know how else to reply to that.]
